Can anyone outweird my secret crush?!

I have developed an inexplicable crush on Uncle Fester.
I've had a few odd crushes over the years but this one is by far the oddest.
Does anyone else get weird crushes for absolutely no good reason?

My daughter told me about the slash fiction thing when she was about 15, I was like, "nooooooooooo, surely not"?
She was right, it's out there, I'm never looking again.

Oh, I’d forgotten mine. I’m fine with slash, just less fine when it’s (and I did definitely read this, sometime I was kept awake by toothache) Ed Miliband and David Cameron trembling at a secret hand’s brush in a HoC lobby at Christmas…

@GasperyJacquesRoberts OMG Torycrushes!!

Which of us is worse? 😅

I think we should both hang our heads in shame

Jesus there are some weirdos named here 😂

PoodlesRUs · 16/05/2025 19:02

What have I walked into 😧Can't remember my work passwords but Tory slash fiction will, no doubt, be etched in my memory forever and bob up at the most awkward of times.

Oh, if we're going for too old how about Charles Dance? 😍

Come on. That's not a weird crush. I'm a boringly heterosexual man but I can definitely see the attraction of Charles Dance. Despite his age he's still a good looking and very charming man.

Uncle Fester, on the other hand, is deeply weird.

@RainbowZebraWarrior when DD2 was 5yo she had a huge crush on Darth Vader.
Someone showed her a pic of the duel with Luke Skywalker and she announced, "I'm going to marry him!"

I thought this was a teachable moment, so I chirped, "Well that's really an actor called Mark--"
"Not him," she said witheringly. "The other one!"

I have always had a bit of a crush on Captain Scarlet 😳

Virgil Tracy for me.

When William hague was deputy leader of the tories, I was a teenager with a crush on him and I used to have a little song about William hague what a babe, genuinely don’t know what was wrong with me 😅 I did have a concussion around that time, so clearly it fucked me up more than I realised!

Conan O'Brien does something for me these days, he’s old enough to be my dad and just not good looking, I think it’s his confidence and just so funny.

I had an extremely romantic sex dream about Conchita Wurst last night. He wasn't in full on drag. He was wearing a suit but still had the long hair and make up. My subconscious obviously didn't register any issue with the fact that he's a gay drag queen. I've realised though that if he suddenly decided he likes women in their sixties then I wouldn't say no.

I once had a sex dream which involved Vecna from Stranger Things. I will probably need to unpick that in therapy one day.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 16/05/2025 19:12

I had a Trump dream 😱 but I’ve always loved a cheesy Wotsit!

No, yours is.... unusual. I thought mine was bad with Karl Pilkington.

Well, I recommend it at 3 am if you have toothache and the drugs don’t work. This was ages ago as well. I think EM was still Labour leader.

I bet there’s all kind of newer stuff in An Archive Of Our Own, probably involving Boris Johnson’s secret passion for Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Uncle Fester definitely trumps my George Osborne!

Latenightreader · 16/05/2025 19:18

Has no one mentioned Robin Hood (the Disney cartoon fox)? I know I'm not alone...

I was about to confess my love for Louis Theroux but you win, OP!

Louis Theroux isn't even slightly weird. I've had a crush on him forever

I once had an extreme sex dream about Dominic Raab. I literally saw stars afterwards.

I’ll never forget someone on MN saying about 15 years ago he looks like the sort of guy who badmouths feminism but at home his wife does unspeakable things to him with a glove on

I know it's wrong but I found the wink to Angela Rayner a bit sexy. I know.

I like dara O’Brien he’s similar to uncle fester
